The Special Surname of the Ji Family
Chapter 339 The Special Surname of the Ji Family
Jiang Man walked step by step on the lush grass.
The ground was a little damp, and your feet sank slightly when you stepped on it, leaving a few green blades of grass stuck to the soles of your shoes.
It must have rained; tiny water droplets still clung to the tips of the grass, refracting the light into delicate shimmers.
The air was filled with the scent of earth, fresh and damp, carrying a unique fragrance after the rain.
It makes people feel comfortable.
Like taking a walk after the rain.
Jiang Man, who had been somewhat agitated, calmed down considerably as he breathed in the humid air.
I've been dealing with so many things lately, one after another, with almost no time to catch my breath.
Even he, a peerless genius, felt a pang of emotion.
Is it his own problem, or is it that the evil god is too troublesome?
Often restless.
But if he had to choose again, he would still choose this kind of day.
no way.
That's too much.
On this one trip alone, I earned several million spirit resources.
I never dared to imagine it before I came out.
We still need to continue improving our cultivation.
As for not being able to go back in July, he no longer wanted to think about it.
We can afford to pay the compensation.
What happened to you?
A lazy voice came from ahead, accompanied by the crunching sound of biting into fruit.
Jiang Man then realized that they had arrived.
At this moment, Tingfengyin was sitting under a large, leafy tree, leaning against the thick trunk, with one leg stretched out and the other leg casually bent.
He was holding a pink fruit in his hand, taking a casual bite.
They also threw some things into the water.
Fish darted in and out of the water, chasing after the debris that fell into the water.
"They've stopped fishing and started raising fish?" Jiang Man wondered to himself.
He then walked to the tree, sat down beside the tree where the wind murmured, and replied, "A lot has indeed happened recently."
Jiang Man briefly recounted the events of his trip.
The Evil God of Sanhe: An ancient altar, a special array of evil gods.
And the clamor of that evil god.
After listening to what Jiang Man said, Ting Fengyin stopped chewing. He stared at Jiang Man for a moment, then stood up, patted the grass clippings off his body, and circled Jiang Man twice.
Only then did he speak, saying, "Rare indeed, even rarer than a peerless genius."
Jiang Man asked curiously, "What are you saying, senior?"
“Peerless geniuses are common, but those who can surpass you in their ability to handle situations are rare,” Tingfengyin sighed. “When I was young, I was far inferior to you. Back then, I couldn’t even imagine facing such a formidable enemy as you did.”
"Didn't you have enough opportunities back then, senior?" Jiang Man asked.
Tingfengyin shook her head, leaned back against the tree trunk, took a bite of the fruit, and said in a calm tone, "That's because I'm too invincible, so it's not their fault."
Jiang Man looked at the other person and remained silent for a moment.
Finally, he picked the fruit and ate it.
The fruit this time is pink, crisp and sour. Let's take some back for Lao Huang to eat.
Tengu can also try something different.
He stopped eating; he couldn't swallow it.
"How was the fruit this time?" Tingfengyin suddenly asked.
Jiang Man shook his head: "Sour."
Although it wasn't as sour as last time, it still didn't suit his taste.
I imagine Miss Himeko doesn't like it either.
"Do you think sour or bitter tastes better?" Tingfengyin said with a smile, "I think you like bitter tastes, otherwise why would you have so many problems?"
"None of them were easy to deal with."
Jiang Man chose not to respond, but instead asked, "Is the Three Rivers Evil God also dangerous?"
“I don’t know him, but all rivers flow into the sea, so his so-called Three Rivers should also belong to the Four Seas, and I know the Lord of the Four Seas.” Tingfengyin thought for a moment, then casually threw the fruit pit into the stream, attracting several fish to fight over it. “This Three Rivers Evil God is most likely one of his people, or one of the Four Seas Evil Gods.”
"Have I offended the four evil gods?" Jiang Man asked.
"It's hard to say, but so what if you've offended him? Does he really think he can storm into the Misty Cloud Sect and kill you?" Ting Fengyin said casually. "Besides, someone as insignificant as you isn't worth him doing that."
"Even if we take a step back and he rushes in to kill you, it would be a good thing."
"After all, you can call me."
Jiang Man was silent for a moment before saying, "What if he sends out a weaker one?"
Tingfengyin shrugged as he ate some fruit: "Then we'll leave it to fate. But such opportunities are rare. Even if you're not in the sect, you're still within the Immortal Sect's territory. He might not even know if you're out."
Jiang Man hesitated for a moment, then said, "What if I establish an immortality cultivation site?"
Upon hearing this, Ting Fengyin paused for a moment, then stared intently at Jiang Man before finally speaking: "Your cultivation is not high, but your ambition is not small. Do you plan to establish an immortal cultivation center during your Nascent Soul stage or when you return to the Void stage?"
Jiang Man initially wanted to suggest returning to the Void, but quickly changed his mind and asked, "What do you think, Senior?"
Tingfeng answered without hesitation: "Of course it's the primordial spirit. Since we're going to establish it, we should establish a bigger one."
"You have talent, but you're a bit lazy."
"It appears that they are qualified at present."
"However, once you establish your immortal cultivation ground, you will have to work hard."
"The faster you become an immortal, the more benefits it will bring you."
"The later it gets, the more difficult it becomes."
Jiang Man nodded.
If one truly wants to establish a Daoist temple for immortality with their primordial spirit, then time is running out.
Moreover, it is more difficult than returning to the state of emptiness.
While eating fruit, Tingfengyin said, "Then you've offended the Four Seas Evil Gods, which is quite troublesome. They will definitely take care of you."
Jiang Man immediately asked, "What if I use the identity of Zui Fusheng?"
Tingfengyin pondered for a moment, then tapped his fingers lightly on his knee: "Drunken Life will offend the Bai family, the Ji family, and the Sun and Moon Immortal Path."
“And the Heavenly Demons,” Jiang Man added.
Then she recounted how she saved Zhao Tiankuo.
"You have quite a lot of experience," Tingfengyin said with a smile. "You want my support?"
Jiang Man nodded and said frankly, "It would be best if we had the support of a senior."
Tingfengyin replied without hesitation, "Sure, just call me whenever their presence is detected."
Jiang Man was taken aback. The other party agreed too readily, which made him a little worried.
He then asked, "Are there any side effects?"
He listened to the wind's whisper and smiled without saying a word.
Jiang Man sighed, "That does indeed have some side effects."
However, with the appearance of Tingfengyin, they probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly, as the possibility of triggering side effects is very low.
“If you need my help, use Drunken Life; if not, establish your own,” Tingfengyin said.
Jiang Man always felt that Tingfengyin was truly kind.
Can good intentions lead to good results?
However, Jiang Man didn't think much of it and was pondering.
Should I use my own name or the name "Drunken Life"?
He was an unparalleled genius, so there was nothing wrong with him establishing a dojo.
It's certain that there are many enemies, but the fact that this road is so prominent means it's destined to be anything but peaceful.
Zui Fusheng, on the other hand, is an evil god, a great figure in the eyes of the demon race.
While it's perfectly reasonable for important figures to establish their own ceremonies, it lacks a certain something.
It's become weak.
Jiang Man remained silent for a moment.
Start feeding the fish.
Finally, he made a decision.
Tingfengyin asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Jiang Man nodded: "It's decided."
He then asked, "Senior, where do you think is a suitable place to establish a Daoist temple for immortality?"
"This brings us to that clamoring evil god." Ting Fengyin leaned against the tree trunk, finding a more comfortable position, and rested one hand behind her head. "Do you know who this evil god is?"
Jiang Man shook his head.
“Many people have a grudge against her, such as the Bai family patriarch and Meng Qiewei of the Ji family,” Tingfengyin said with a smile. “You can sell her information to these two people.”
"I used my real name to be on good terms with them."
"They were sent on their way using pseudonyms."
"Even if they are discovered someday, they may not necessarily die."
"But just sending messages isn't enough; you need to do more."
“For example?” Jiang Man asked. “I remember she’s restoring an ancient place called the Supreme Heart Palace, which is the culmination of her life’s work. You can find this place through your connection with the evil god, and then establish an immortality cultivation site there to catch her off guard.” Ting Fengyin paused, then added, “However, it’s also the most dangerous place, but this danger can help you escape the killing intent of the two powerful figures on the list.”
Jiang Man asked curiously, "The Supreme Heart Palace?"
Tingfengyin said, "Yes, you are destined to be with it. You dug up the Supreme Law, and that evil god cultivated the Upper Chapter of the Supreme Law, Forget Emotion."
"Part One?" Jiang Man asked. "Then what's Part Two?"
Tingfengyin chuckled softly, gazing into the distance, her tone becoming distant: "The second part of Taishang is about emotions. Taishang Fa is very interesting; it is not Fa in the traditional sense."
"It is a path that can be walked."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Man stopped asking questions.
The concepts of ruthlessness and compassion are too abstract for him; he doesn't need to change his futile ideas.
What we need are genuine thoughts.
He then asked the evil god why he had become enemies with the Bai and Ji families.
“They probably did something big, so they're quite capable.” Tingfengyin pondered for a moment and said, “You can ask Meng Qiewei for details. If you find her, she might tell you if she's in a good mood. If you can tell her about this evil god, she might be able to tell you more.”
Jiang Man thought Meng Qiewei wouldn't say it.
I am still too weak.
He paused for a moment, then asked another question.
"How many people in the Ji family have the surname Meng?"
The main thing was that letter, which was to be given to someone from the Ji family surnamed Meng.
“One.” Tingfengyin picked a fruit and twirled it in her hand. “The Ji family has always had only one special surname, unless the person with that surname dies.”
"Otherwise, no one else would have this surname."
"Furthermore, everyone with a special surname is a descendant of the Ji family."
This was the first time Jiang Man had heard about this.
"Are people with unusual surnames all very powerful?" Jiang Man asked.
"Whether they are powerful or not is not absolute, but the Ji family, with their special surnames, are basically among the strongest in the contemporary era," Tingfengyin explained.
Then Jiang Man asked what to do about the evil god outside.
"The people from the Immortal Sect will take action, but they really can't do anything about her; they can only guard against her."
“Taihua can suppress her, and it would be even easier to deal with her head-on, but he can’t come out recently. The specific arrangements depend on the immortal sects. I haven’t heard from them recently, and it’s a minor matter. The probability of them notifying me is quite low,” Tingfengyin said.
The entire Misty Cloud Sect has come out in force; how can this be a small matter?
Jiang Man said softly, "Now that the senior is here, should we take care of him while we're at it?"
Instead of answering directly, Tingfengyin asked in return, "Do you know any formations?"
Jiang Man nodded: "He has a little bit of talent."
“I’ll draw a small array for you that can break many of her arrays. Try using the evil god’s method,” Ting Fengyin said casually.
Jiang Man was taken aback for a moment, then said, "So, both of my names have offended her?"
But I couldn't refuse.
After that, Tingfengyin began to teach Jiangman the formation.
It's a very ordinary little formation, with simple lines and a seemingly simple structure.
But the more Jiang Man looked at it, the more unfathomable it seemed, and he couldn't understand the logic behind it at all.
Each line seems to have been drawn casually, but when put together, they create a mysterious and inexplicable effect.
“Just find a suitable place and draw it in,” Tingfengyin continued. “This will break her formation for a while, so we can try to find the Supreme Heart Palace before she recovers and then establish an immortality altar.”
"This changes the balance of offense and defense."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have heard about such a trivial matter."
Jiang Man was somewhat surprised: "She's quite special. She managed to offend the Bai family patriarch and Meng Qiewei, yet the news didn't reach the elders' ears?"
Tingfengyin smiled slightly but did not answer.
Jiang Man didn't understand what that smile meant either.
"Is there anything else I can help you with? You're in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm now, and you'll soon reach the Nascent Soul perfection." Tingfengyin reminded him, "It's about time to send Meng Qiewei and the Bai family patriarch back."
"Remember, you must not make a move after you have returned to the Void Realm; you must make a move at the same level."
Jiang Man asked curiously, "Why?"
“If they’re not at the same level, it’s not insulting enough, and it’s easy for things to go wrong. Even if they’re at the same level, they’ll still have some pride if they get killed. It’s relatively safe for you,” Ting Fengyin said casually.
Afterwards, Jiang Man asked the other party to teach him how to condense momentum.
I hope to improve even more.
This time, Listening to the Wind's Whisper prompted him to attempt to condense a phantom figure within his spiritual platform, the figure formed based on the visualization method.
Accumulate and gather momentum.
Then it integrates into the body, thereby allowing power and momentum to leap forward.
Three days later.
Listening to the wind whispers, Jiang Man leaves.
The Magpie Bridge is about to close.
He said he hoped the next time they met would be when he would be eliminating the identity of "Drunken Life".
Let Meng Qiewei and the Bai family patriarch end their journey.
Jiang Man felt a lot of pressure; next year wouldn't be enough.
However, the Boundless Calamity Stone was sealed for another ten years.
This thing is currently useless to him.
At least you can earn spiritual resources from Immortal Path Coordinates, but how do you earn Boundless Tribulation Stones?
What a waste of something that ranked so highly.
Then Jiang Man appeared in the courtyard, and everything around him had disappeared.
Besides the pile of fruits in the storage magic item.
I heard some useful information from Tingfengyin this time.
That is, the Ji family has only one special surname.
Furthermore, this arrogant evil god is not simple at all; he cultivates the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.
As for the altar, Tingfengyin mentioned it briefly.
He said the altar was a nice thing, and he should keep the coordinates if he encountered it again.
The other party didn't say anything more.
In addition, there are formations, which can solve immediate problems.
Jiang Man then began his cultivation.
As the days went by.
Jiang Man's third cultivation gourd is now full.
Once the fourth gourd is opened, one can enter the stage of perfect spiritual cultivation.
Meanwhile, Lingyue Sect was gradually recovering, and Zhuo Qingcheng continued to lead people to establish a new order.
Ren Qian and the others have recovered somewhat from their injuries.
They began to deal with some formations outside their range.
When he returned, he told Jiang Man that the situation was not good.
The enemy's formation began to expand, constantly harassing them.
It is to force the Immortal Sect to retreat.
Jiang Man asked the sect's higher-ups if they could not continue to intervene.
The answer is no.
Initially, when they sought help, only two high-ranking officials came.
After engaging in combat, they realized the situation was not right and called for help again.
The sect leader and the others arrived at this time.
But in the end, everyone was severely injured, and the first two were even in a coma.
We need to wait for the people from the immortal sect to come down.
Jiang Man sighed with emotion, then asked if he knew anything about the other party's background.
Ren Qian shook his head and said, "We'll have to rely on my junior brother for this. Let's see if we can get any information from Linghua Xianling."
Jiang Man nodded and said he would find a way.
We will definitely try to find a solution.
Because he not only needs to know who she is, but also where the Supreme Heart Palace, which she cares about, is located.
The enmity was destined to remain unresolved.
Jiang Man spent the rest of his days studying formations.
Jiang Man understood the difficulties of the formation, so he only pursued the successful replication, not the understanding of it.
In addition, it is necessary to understand some evil god formations.
In early August, after comparing various options, he finally decided where to inscribe the Wind Whisper formation.
But the day that had to be taken was finally approached.
He just woke up; Jiang Man had hit him too hard, and no one called him.
He's here now to continue his supervisory duties.
It basically says in the notebook that the person in charge is still in cultivation.
Suddenly, Jiang Man became curious about how the other party recorded when they fainted and woke up.
